About True Curling

True Curling is the most realistic and complete curling game for iPhone, iPad, and Android. It's the sequel to the classic Granite series of games from the early 2000s. The physics of the ice, sweeping, and collisions are very accurate, and the in-game bots play like real curlers.

Players take on 24 AI opponents with distinct skills and styles, climb a ranked ladder, solve shot-making puzzles, earn achievements, and learn the sport with lessons built into the game.

History

True Curling is the sequel to the classic Granite and Granite 2, which were Windows games shipped on CDs across Canada and around the world. The latter became Curling Canada's official PC curling game in 2008.

True Curling is a full rebuild for mobile with the same attention to detail. It launched on the App Store in February 2026 and on Google Play in March 2026. See the News page for each release.
